Dodecatheon - Dodecatheon meadia ‘Lilac’, 1 Pack
A graceful native perennial, the ‘Lilac’ form of Dodecatheon meadia features nodding umbels of delicate lilac-purple reflexed petals and bright yellow stamens, held atop slender, 9–18″ stems. A spring ephemeral, it emerges from a basal rosette of lance-shaped foliage, bringing a soft woodland charm to shaded borders or rock gardens. With an April–June bloom period, it attracts native bees—especially bumblebees—through buzz pollination, and goes dormant by mid-summer, making it ideal for companion planting. Hardy and low-maintenance, it thrives in moist, well‑drained soil and isn’t favored by deer.
